Aww hun, it's so hard when people are trying what to do and even harder when it is your mum

From experience ~ and a lot of it, having been having contractions for 6 weeks now and being heavily medicated to try and stop them. I know that bubs doesn't move anywhere as much when I am having bad days, today has been a pretty bad day for me, they started at 6am and having been going all day, rangin from 20-30min appart down to 10min or less and stopping me talking through them. Bubs has been very quiet, just a few stretches every now and then but that is it. But for bubs I see it being bear hugged all day and I don't think I would be very playful either. But on the good days I get a lot more movement and bubs is much more playful.

How has bubs been while you have been on the CTG? I would assumer that if bubs was having decelerations that the recovery must have been good or they wouldn't have let you go home. but they did want you close and 30min is quite a distance to travel, especially if something changes quickly.

I still keep an eye on the stretching movements and random kicks, and as long as I get them in the bigger breaks then I know all is ok, the hiccups are also handy 10 a day isn't that many, so perhaps keep a bit of a tick chart so that you can get an idea how many you are getting that way it will give you an idea and help calm your mum down.

If you find that your really aren't getting the movements then a trip back in to keep a check on bubs may be a good idea.

Take care hun xxoo
